Ditto for YouTube. I always struggle to find my watch history and saved videos. And the fact search defaults to those stupid shorts.

I like to think it’s because YouTube are trying to force new content on me, but it’s probably partly just that I’m old.

We should play a game, cartel or cop!?

I think he’s possibly talking at the UN or some security council as they plaque in front of him says “United States”, at a guess that wouldn’t be necessary in front of Congress. I might be wrong though, I’m not from the US.

1. Once land is developed it’s expensive to undo.
2. Whoever bought the land will have legal rights, it’s a pretty fair argument to say “I bought this fair and square from the govt., it’s not my fault the fat orange guy does stupid things”.
3. Money.

Here’s an example from the UK where a planned railway line has been cancelled by a successive opposition govt.

Last year, a transport minister said no land would be sold until the government had decided on an alternative 50-mile railway line. The Independent understands detailed future plans for phase 2 land will be released in the summer by the DfT.

Surplus land will then be sold, with previous owners getting the first chance to buy - but at the current market value, instead of what they sold it for.

Note the bold bit, land usually goes up in value over time and I doubt the UK govt. will have over paid, therefore original owner may not be able to afford it in the future.

I’d never heard of it before but looks interesting.

Over 40 years ago, in 1984, the BBC ran a documentary on the UK video game industry which was notable for charting the spectacular fall of Imagine Software, creators of the infamous ‘megagames’ Bandersnatch and Psyclapse.

Commercial Breaks: The Race For Santa’s Software also covered rival company Ocean Software, but is most notable for being “in the room” at the moment when Imagine went bust.

The guts appear to be leaking in the photo 🧟‍♀️

Neat idea though!

I hadn’t seen this game but the photos and description means I’ll be checking it out now.

Nice work on reaching day 337, almost a year now!

Public land can only be sold once. Shitty short term gains that’ll make trump’s friends rich, and everyone else will suffer.

Grift, grift, grift, see the trump family wealth grow!

How many crypto coins did they get?

Start the computer in safe mode and make sure there’s no apps running in systray or anywhere, hopefully fan will remain quiet.

Run msconfig and start the applications in the startup list one by one until you find the culprit.

Has science gone too far!?

The lab-raised, male mosquitoes are meant to breed with the invasive ones on the islands and produce sterile eggs that will help suppress avian malaria

No.

Did Charles go to the G7 summit, or did the prime minister (leader) of the county go?

Of all the leaders who attended the G7 summit, are they all elected officials?

Yes, technically this is correct and the legislation has not been repealed. I think it highly unlikely that the king would do anything, and if he did I’m unsure the armed forces would follow him against a legally elected parliament.

Futhermore the king is also head of Canada, Australia, and New Zealand; again I find it unlikely that they’d follow him over their govts.

In short there’s a bunch of laws that the UK govt. hasn’t revoked. Changing unused or unnecessary legislation takes time and there are more important changes to make.

Trump liked the French parade apparently.

Trump had long dreamt of a big military parade. During his first term, he was left feeling envious after watching a Bastille Day parade in France in 2017. “We’re going to have to try and top it,” Trump told France’s President Macron a few months after the event.

In his defence, he’s not a world leader but a symbolic figure head and this is a tradition going back a long way, similar to the French parade but they got rid of their king a while back.

Seems like a good idea. I wonder if there’s anything already similar. It’d be a real treat to see a VC company get shafted.

new concepts have to be evaluated, and we had learned a great deal about that one. I had made seven wheels up landings—six of them intentionally.
